Description
Oct. 3, 2024 is the 29th anniversary of the not guilty verdict for O.J. Simpson.
During the trial that preceding summer of 1995, we released the only known 3.5” PC diskette “single” live multitrack recording of this parody song (“O.J.-0h” to tune: “Day-O”) with an accompanying computer-generated moving (barely) graphic. This was years before video became available on computers. YouTube started 10 years later, in 2005.
The diskette sold on a display rack by the check-out at Tower Records stores in Silicon Valley (Palo Alto & Campbell) at $4.99 a copy wrapped in a see-through plastic…glove (of course).
Here’s the RECENTLY CONVERTED video of that 1995 diskette PC audio-visual as reconstructed using various programs by my former Sun Microsystems engineer whiz-cat colleague, E. Michael Durbin.
The original audio-visual diskette was a collaboration of another whiz-cat engineer Lee Baxter and myself. A copy is lodged in the Computer History Museum in Fremont, California.
Enjoy this 45 rpm vinyl-era “single” release, but which came out on a red 3.5” computer diskette. With “moving pictures!” Or maybe, “quivering pictures.” Only one of its kind in captivity.
